She Becomes n Public Benefactor by
Raising the Standard of Egg
Laying.

Mr.. French, of Otisco Valley, is the
proud owner of hen of marked abil-
lty. She Is a hen which evidently has
no taste for the beaten path. She de.
clines to be mere imitator and echo
of the routine hens that have preceded
her. She is hen which prefers to do
her own work in her own way, unin-
huenced by the prevailing fashion.
Were DR.. Emerson living he would
probably speak Of her as having origi-
nal relations to the universe At all
events she is that sort of hen. The
ordinary hen lays an egg with a single
yelk, the exceptional hen contributes
to an era of prosperity eggs with
double yolk; but the able Otisco Valley
hen conforms herself to neither of
these system of egg laying. The out
side shell of the egg which she place
upon the market is ample enough to
accommodate two eggs, and does
actually contain the white and yelk
such rs are found in the familiar gro
cery-store egg. "And in addition, y
We quote from the Syracuse Journal
''within the yelk of the outer one is a |
second perfect egg with hard SHE'LL"
The brilliant achievement of this |
Onondago County hen is not only nota-
BILE in itself but Is clothed with signal
interest regarded as a protest against
the ultra-conServatism which charac-
t: les hens rs a race. Your average
Len, not only in Onondaga but in the
rest of the counties Of the State, hold
ing fast to the maxim SIT is good to
let well enough alone, never attempts
to lay what might be called advanced
eggs-eggs with modern improvements.
Year after year from the beginning to
the end Of her career she goes on lay
ing the same style of egg that her
mother and her grandmother laid be-
fors her. She is without ambition; the
spirit Of progress which IS the spirit OF
the age IS not In her. But the hen OF
Otisco Valley is no such bird. Such
Is her conception Of her duty to heI
day and generation and such her conf.
dence in her own capacity that she lays
two eggs where her fellOw-worker lays
egg within an egg. In thus
raising the standard Of egg-laying she
is public benefactor. May her tribe
but not the price Of eggs Increase.

Supcrstitions Concerning Bells.

The effort of an Indiana family TO
have certain church bells of their city
silenced as q nuisance has been par
elleled in other places. But the
war on church bells has not always
been waged on such grounds. In some
cases it has been the outgrowth of an
iconoclastic temper cn the part of per-
sons who wished to break the force OF
the religious associations which cluster
around the music of the spirits. In
olden times bells were supposed to have
certain supernatural powers. They
were used to diSarm Satan when he
visited plous communities on earth.
On their holy sounds the souls of the
dead were waited to heaven.
When the French took Zweibruecken
in 1877, we read that they tried to melt
one of the local church bells, when it
sweated drops of blood, which one of
the officers wiped off with handker-
chief SO that he could show the stains
to King Louis in proof of his asser-
tions.
In Sweden, long, long ago, there lived
a race of giants who were so wicked as
to hurl rocks at the churches to try II
destroy them. One day a peasant,
going to the cave of one of these mons
ters, heard himself called: Jacob,
Jacob, come in and eat of my stew. "
NAY" answered Jacob, who would
not for worlds have broken fast with a
sacrilegious creature like that, ''if you
have more stew than you can eat, you
better Law the rest aside for the NOR
row. 'But / cannot wait till the
morrow" pleaded the giant; "they
have brought those horrid church bells
into Sweden, and L cannot withstand
their power. I must fee" sand
when come you back Z" asked Jacob.
ssNot till the hills have become the bot
tom of the sea, and the sea turned into
farming land" Quoth the giant. And
he was as good as his word for from
that day forth, the rock hurting mons.
ters were not known in Sweden, and
the churches have enjoyed a peace like
that of heaven.

THE BELIEF IN MONSTERS.
How Remarkable Giants and Start
ling Beasts Have Been Displayed.

The great lesson which Cuvier
taught the world was that many races
of animals were entirely extinct, and
that natures chain OF existence had
not one, but many missing, links.
From his recognition of that fact the
science Of palaontology may be said to
date, remarks Professor w. B. Scott.
But the carnlvorcus nature of the mas.
todon was too fascinating an absurdity
to be so easily killed, and it continued
to appear at intervals. As late as 1885
we find New England medical pro-
fessor writing as if it were an unques-
tlonable fact. The great theory lin.
gered still longer, and even yet cannot
be considered entirely extinct among
the unlearned.
the age are but the science of preced-
ing ages receives ample confirmation
in the history OF this subject. Not Ion
ger ago than 1916 mastodon skeleton
was exhibited in New Orleans as that
Of q giant. The Uranium was made OF
rawhide, fantastic wooden teeth were
fitted In the jaws, all missing parts
were restored after the human model,
and the whole raised upon the hind
legs. 1t certainly conveyed the notion
of ''hideous, diabOlical giant" and
was no doubt responsible for many
nightmares. As a sad commentary on
the state of the medical profession in
the southwest at that time, 1t may be
added that the exhibitor was perfectly
honest, In his belief. and to support his
faith he had trunk full of physicians
certificates that these were human
bones.
In 1S40 "Dr. Koch, a German char
latan, created great sensation by an
nouncing the discovery of the levia.
than OF Job, which he called the Mis-
sourium, from the State where it was
found. 1t turned out, however, to be
nothing but mastodon preposterously
mounted. Koch had added an extra
dozen or more joints to the backbone
and ribs to the chest, turned the tusks
outward into semlclrcle, and CONVEX
ted the animal into an aquatic monster
which anchored itself to trees by means
Of its sickle-shaped tusks and then
peacefully slumbered on the bosom OF
the waves. Like the Siberians, he
found interesting confirmation Of his
views in the Book Of Job, that refuge
OF Derplexed monster-makers. Koch
took his leviathan in London, where II
was purchased by the British Museum
and reconverted into a mastodon by
Professor Owen, who at once recognized
its true nature.

call the park of Versailles. Time was
wanting to develop the Kings plans,
therefore beyond these fine fountains,
these masses of marbles and the hand
some statues that decorate the esplanade
in front of the palace one hardly cares
to look. To the lower terrace one de-
scends by a series of twenty-five steps
nearly three hundred feet in length.
Here are other fountains of marble,
adorned with classical groups and gro
tesque figures. The gardens, alleys,
walls and rustic paths beyond are bare
ly sketched.

A Queens Ball Dress.

At the last court ball before Lent
Queen Marguerite of Italy wore a skirt
of very palegreen faille, embroidered
with gold, the train of a somewhat
darker shade, being trimmed with a
raised brocade of leaves in varied shades.
Her Majesty was perfect blaze of
emerald, which harmonized perfectly
with the dress, and on her head she
wore diadem of diamonds and emerals.
Her long gloves were of pale cafe-au-
lait shade.

In Brief, And to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disor.
dered liver and misery. Indigestion
is foe to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus
is one Of the most complicated and
wonderful things in existence. 1t
is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, though food, slop,
by food, bad cookery, mental wor-
ry, late hours, irregular habits, and
many other things which ought
not. to be, have made the Ameri
can people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reform.
ing this sad business and making
the American people so healthy
that they can enjoy their meals and
behappy.
Remember:-No happiness with
out health. But Green's August
Flower brings health and happi-
ness to the dyspeptic. Ask your
druggist for a bottle. Seventy,five

An exchange asks "why is it
that farmers allow their hay to rot

That question can be answered
in this way: they plant SO much
cotton every year on which there
is a mortgage to be met about the
fifteenth of October, that they
have no time to do anything but
gather and market the cotton.
